The principal and founder of Dillon Crew is Michael F. Dillon, Jr. Michael is a licensed REALTOR in Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia.

Michael was reared on Isle of Hope, just outside of Savannah, Georgia, where the rivers and the marshes gave him an early appreciation for the outdoors that continues to this day. Michael recalls fondly when he first fell in love with Washington, DC during a summer road trip with his parents around 8th grade.

In late August 1995 Michael's parents moved him into his freshman dorm at The George Washington University and he has called the DC area home ever since. After college Michael turned an internship with a member of the House of Representatives into a full time job and spent nearly six years working on the "House side" of Capitol Hill. During his time on Capitol Hill he primarily worked on defense and transportation issues and was instrumental in the establishment of the first friendly US-Vietnam legislative caucus since the Vietnam War.

After buying his first home in the Kingman Park neighborhood of "Capitol Hill East" in 2004 and successfully purchasing vacant lots from the DC Tax Sale in 2005 the real estate bug took full hold of Michael. Shortly thereafter Michael decided to get his real estate license and hoped to "dabble" in real estate on a part time basis. Within six months Michael was a full-time Realtor and in his first full year in 2006 was the top producing Realtor at Long and Foster's Capitol Hill Office.

After nearly 5 years as a partner on a top producing real estate team at Long and Foster's Capitol Hill and Chevy Chase/Uptown offices, Michael decided he was ready to form his own real estate team and sought a brokerage that fully embraced the team concept. In April 2010 Michael and his colleague Eileen Corboy moved to Keller Williams Capitol Properties and created his new team, Dillon Crew.

An authority on the local real estate market, Michael has been quoted in The Washington Post, Washington Business Journal, Urban Turf Real Estate Blog and Fox 5 local news and has been featured on HGTV's Designed to Sell. Michael is a member of the Greater Capitol Area Association of Realtors and the National Association of Realtors.

After living in Foggy Bottom, Alexandria VA, Capitol Hill and Brookland neighborhoods, Michael and his wife Alyce settled down in Mohican Hills in the Glen Echo Heights neighborhood of Bethesda, Maryland. They are the proud parents their son Sam.

My husband and I had never bought a property in DC before, and it made a world of difference to work with Michael who was very knowledgeable regarding the different neighborhoods, pricing, and overall market trends. We also really appreciated his professionalism and exemplary ethical behavior every step of the way.More Less

Michael was our realtor when we purchased our home in December 2009 in Petworth. We had a tight budget and a big wishlist and Michael helped us find just what we were looking for; a fixer-upper with good bones. Michael was always prompt, responsive and helped us navigate a challenging and competitive real estate market. He also was great at helping us see all of our options in the market and sent us notice of new listings as soon as they came on the market. We will definitely use Michael the next time we need a realtor.More Less

Bought a Condo home in 2010 for approximately $200K in Alexandria Wrest, Alexandria, VA.

My husband and I purchased a condo in Alexandria,VA in 2010. It was a short sale. During the eight month process we encountered numerous obstacles form the bank and the agents representing the condo owners. Michael remained professional and dedicated to our best interests. I am sure any other agent would have walked away from this property and encouraged us to go in another direction. We witnessed first hand Michael's resilience, knowledge, negotiation skills, and persistence on our behalf. If you want the best agent in the DC, MD, and VA area call on Michael and his team!! They will not let you down!!
